Cumberland Falls & Big South Fork

Located in the southernmost section of Kentucky, Cumberland Falls is the mother of southern waterfalls. Nearby is the Big South Fork National Recreation area is shared with bordering Tennessee. BSF is similar to Red River Gorge in landscape and geology except 3 times the size and the mountains are twice as high. This gallery also covers the Stearns District of Daniel Boone National Forest, Mill Springs at Lake Cumberland and Monticello, KY as well as the Tennessee section of the BSF and Picket State Forest, also located in Tennessee.

Meadow Creek - 3rd Cascade - 1

What I love about Meadow Creek is, as you walk upstream you're greeted by scene after scene of beauty. After climbing up the the 2nd cascade and walking several feet you come to the next drop. Although not tall, 4 feet or so, it makes for a wonderful foreground as you see the final cascade in the distance. The spring greens were really popping here and I couldn't resist a few shots before moving on and shooting the last. Truly, Kentucky at it's best.
